      Yes, keep moving on and try to progress forward.

      So now we believe, What do we do now?
      Go try to do as much good works as you can, help out people, "show love until it hurts", as Mama Maggie Gobran (Mother Teresa of Cairo) kind of stated.

      and yeah, i don't use non-stick spray. Yes do take olive oil/avocado. I used to kind of drink olive oil....

      I try to be natural. No aluminum deodorants, fluoridated tooth paste, mercury tooth fillings, hydrogenated fats, artificial sweeteners/colors/flavors etc etc.

        That's the way to go, dude. I make my own toothpaste! You should try it. )

        All that fake stuff is cheap and makes more money for the corporation, never considering the health of the consumers. No thanks. I'll try to use what Allah created for me to live on. yes

        Peace!

            How does One make One's own toothpaste?

            It's actually super easy and super cheap! Try one of these recipes

            1. http//www.tammysrecipes.com/homemade_toothpaste
            2. http//www.diynatural.com/homemade-toothpaste-recipe-easy-and-frugal/

            The second link is how I made my first batch but I found it kind of hot. The first link I couldn't follow exactly because I didn't have the same ingredients. So I just wung it (a.k.a. closed my eyes and mixed some stuff together...ok not really).

            I took a very small container and put 1/5 with coarse sea salt, nearly filled the rest of it with baking soda,used about 10-12 drops of peppermint oil, and poured just enough grapeseed oil to make it paste-like. I sweetened it with honey if it was too hot/salty.

            And when you use baking soda to brush your teeth...well, when you brush your teeth in general, you should use circling motions instead of horizontal motions because horizontal brushing will wear down your enamel. It's not really what you use, but how you brush!

            Peace!

                I really hope to memorize the Quran, and I mean that as knowing what it says, not how it sounds! I want to be a walking Quran, a Muslim encyclopedia for every situation, a permanent student in Islam! I am sooooooo excited about this change in my life because I finally belong somewhere. I have finally found the logic to life and that fact brings me peace. And God is so awesome and I love Him so much! (Though that feeling is quite new to me as well. Hopefully that love will grow as my journey continues.)

                Salaam and welcome to the forum handshake

                2186 And if My servants ask you about Me, I am near answering the calls of those who call to Me. So let them respond to Me and believe in Me that they may be guided.

                Here are some examples of people who had some wishes
                blue=wish
                green=the answer

                195 "And I fear the kinfolk after I am gone, and my wife is infertile, so grant me from Yourself an ally."
                197 "O Zachariah, We give you glad tidings of a son whose name is John. We have not given that name before to anyone."

                1910 He said "My Lord, make for me a sign." He said "Your sign is that you will not speak to the people for three nights consecutively."

                2025 He said "My Lord, comfort for me my chest."
                2026 "And make my mission easy."
                2027 "And remove the knot in my tongue."
                2028 "So they can understand what I say."
                2029 "And allow for me an advisor from my family."
                2030 "Aaron, my brother."
                2031 "So that I may strengthen my resolve through him."
                2032 "And share with him my mission."
                2033 "So that we may glorify You plenty."
                2034 "And remember You plenty."
                2035 "You Have been seer over us."
                2036 He said "You have been given what you asked O Moses."

                5114 Jesus, son of Mary, said "Our god, our Lord, send down to us a feast from the heaven, that it becomes a joy to us from the first to the last, and a sign from You, and provide for us, you are the best provider."
                5115 God said "I will send it down to you, but whoever rejects after this from among you, I will punish him a punishment like no one else from the worlds will be punished!"

                A strange example )
                714 He said "Grant me respite until the Day they are resurrected?"
                715 He said "You are granted."

                  I know that olive oil is healthy, and I know that ingesting it once a day is a good idea, but couldn't you just eat it with salad? I personally find it a bit...odd I guess. But that's just me. peace

                    yuck and what a waste.

                      Whoa, a whole liter?! &
                      You're hardcore mirjamnur. And most people have the opposite reaction after an experience like that - they would NEVER touch Olive oil afterwards. That's the usual reaction anyways...

                      You must be blessed with lots of strength! muscle
                      But I will personally stick to my 2 tablespoons in some spinach. Yum! eat

                            Shalom Aleikhem,

                            How does One make One's own toothpaste?

                            The truth of the matter is that if you wanted, you could "make" your own computer that runs on your "own" Operating System. You can build a nuclear reactor, medicines, biologically hazardous weapons, and other weapons. But most people chose not to make their own. There are good reasons for that. Do you think, as the owner of a corporation, I would be willing to spend few hundred million dollars to improve my product if your home made remedy already does what my product does ? I say this not to belittle home made remedies, but to stop people from drawing absurd conclusions.

                            Most likely I will be posting a refutation series on this forum, for the members of this forum. It will be based on "Alternative Medicine".

                            @inquisitivetrini Sorry for going offtopic on your welcome thread P

                            Peace

                              Peace SoA,

                              The truth of the matter is that if you wanted, you could "make" your own computer that runs on your "own" Operating System. You can build a nuclear reactor, medicines, biologically hazardous weapons, and other weapons. But most people chose not to make their own. There are good reasons for that.

                              The truth of the matter is, yes you can indeed make whatever you want at home when you put your mind to it. Corporations spend so much money to "improve a product" because they have us so wrapped up in their "name" and what they "stand for" that we can't trust ourselves to make something as "good" as they can. Many of us never "think" that the corporations which spend so much money to "improve their products" are actually not considering the actual interests of the consumers. Think about it. All this "real" this and "natural" this and "organic" this being put on labels....why? Why do they have to put that label on a product in the first place? Why didn't they just give us a good, healthy product to begin with? Plus, they increase their profits by doing the bare minimum to get a product passed and we pay for the cost externalization.

                              So sorry for the rant. I just try my best to use things as God intended. Technology is indeed a potent poison, though.

                              Watch this http//youtu.be/nmXgedNKgjI

                              Then you'll understand why I get so heated about Corporations. P

                              Peace! O0

                                I can not defend a for profit Corporation's business ethics. ) That was not the point of my post. I am sure if you keep looking, you will be able to find Corporations that will actually poison you literally and take your money for that. Therefore, I refuse to defend them.

                                However, I stand for Science. If you claim that whatever product you made yourself is better or even equal in quality when compared to a product available in the market, you must provide the scientific evidence for your claim. Double blind experiments done on your product, using large samples of test subjects (people) and not to mention peer reviewed scientific journals to back your claim. Otherwise, its yet another claim !!

                                Oh, and by the way, no matter how you criticize Corporations and their business strategies, that does not add any credibility or validity to your claim of having a better product. All claims stand or fall on their own merits.

                                Thanks for the link to that video. Will watch it and let you know later. )

                                Peace

                                    However, I stand for Science. If you claim that whatever product you made yourself is better or even equal in quality when compared to a product available in the market, you must provide the scientific evidence for your claim. Double blind experiments done on your product, using large samples of test subjects (people) and not to mention peer reviewed scientific journals to back your claim. Otherwise, its yet another claim !!

                                    Oh, I see what you're saying. Tres cool. It's true. You're right. sun

                                    Peace! yay

                                      No!
                                      I gained weight eating rice & other carbs. Olive oil doesn't make you fat!

                                      Guess you had to learn the hard way, huh? Yikes.
